Holding down for 3 wipes seems to have worked. Thanks fellow cybertruckers!

Mine requires holding of the button for a good 6-8s before adequate fluid come out…means several dry wipes that I’m not fond of.
The update increased the flow after the second wipe to also spray on the backstroke, just as I suggested a few months ago. It works much better now. Not quite perfect, but a big improvement.

That said, the first two wipes shouldn't be dry wipes, it just doesn't spray enough volume until the spray on the third backstroke kicks in.

Yes, I went 4Wheeling in atrociously dust conditions yesterday and decided to use the wiper cleaner on my way home as I was heading into the sun. OMG, 2 or 3 dry passes about gave me a heart attack. I was sure the wiper was grinding some of that grit right into the windshield!

Yes, I actually have a scratch that occurred from a phantom wipe the day I bought the truck. I’m sure it could be buffed out. I have yet to deal with it.
